Local Email Blocker is a lightweight WordPress plugin designed for developers and staging environments. It prevents WordPress from sending actual emails, instead intercepting them and storing them in your database for easy viewing. This is crucial for local development and staging sites where you don’t want test emails to accidentally reach real users.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatic Blocking: Automatically detects local development environments (localhost, .local, .test, .dev) and blocks emails.</li>
<li>Manual Blocking: Option to manually enable email blocking, perfect for staging sites.</li>
<li>SMTP Override: Can be configured to block emails even when an SMTP plugin is active, ensuring no emails escape.</li>
<li>Email Log: All intercepted emails are logged in the WordPress database, accessible via a dedicated admin page.</li>
<li>View Email Details: Easily view the full content, headers, and attachments of logged emails.</li>
<li>Clear Log: Option to clear all logged emails.</li>
<li>SMTP Status Detection: Provides information about your current SMTP configuration.</li>
</ul>
This plugin ensures that your development and staging processes are clean and free from unintended email dispatches, while still allowing you to inspect what emails would have been sent.

Nice little helper
